Pros -Works great on cysts and other mild to sever acne.
-Helps reduce red 'bumps' that are caused by cysts
Cons Dries out skin so make sure to moisturize, expensive
Bottom line I used this to treat my cyst that formed next to my eye and it helped it reduce it and finally make it go away. Word of caution: don't use this product to cover your whole face with it. Instead use it on spots with a Qtip. Also... Do NOT use this on skin where you applied benzil peroxide or anything else that dries out skin. If you do your skin will get extremely red and irritated.

Pros dries it up and the spot doesnt comemup, great stuff
Cons sometimes after use the pimple would get really dry and stay there for weeks, ( just under the skin ) so use it but make sure you do it before the pus in the pimple has formed
Bottom line its good, but dries skin

Pros I love tea tree oil! I'm 47 yrs old, started breaking out severely, and have been using tea tree for a little over a week. My skin is clear.
Cons No cons. The smell is great, refreshing. It does dry my skin a little, but I add extra tea tree and vitamin e antibacterial cream to help moisturize.
Bottom line I was beginning to get desperate. I had tried everything, and then read the reviews of tea tree here. I went to the health food store, purchased tea tree soap, tea tree oil and the tea tree/vitamin e cream. My skin looks great, it didn't cost me a fortune, and I have my confidence back.

Pros Natural
Works without a lot of irritation
Very cheap
Cons Works very slowly
I needed to use benxoyl peroxide sometimes in conjunction to speed up process. This combonation worked good because if I use only benzoyl peroxide my face gets irritated and my pores clog up with dead skin and I break out more
Bottom line The key to this product working is to make sure you put it on morning and night. It is an antiseptic so if you constantly have an antiseptic barrier on your face the p acne bacterias will not have a chance to grow.

Pros Great for killing the acne causing bacteria and preventing future acne, can't go without it, great clean feeling after use
Cons makes old scars darker with every use, very drying to the skin, burns but worth it
Bottom line I currently use with 100% black soap, 100% tea tree oil as astrigent/toner, and then moisturize with unrefined shea butter. Have been using this for only a week and my breakouts have stopped significantly. The tea tree oil is the absolute best astrigent for ance prone and oily skin, moisturize afterwards and you will reap the benefits.

Pros natural alternative to harsh on-the-spot treatments, works quickly, can apply it under makeup
Cons REALLY dries out the skin if you over apply. i've had some really nasty peeling, but i blame myself for those times, not the oil
Bottom line this stuff is great. it's "oil" but it does wonders for drying out pimples. you only need a little bit, but if you keep applying "a little bit" for several days or more than once a day, your skin will probably peel. but i especially love this stuff because you can wear it under your makeup. if i wake up with a pimple and i don't want it to get any bigger, i dab a bit of this stuff on, let it dry for a minute or two, and apply my makeup. it's really great.

Pros Dries up acne quickly (within a a few hours or day for me, depending on size) Natural
Cons My dad in constantly nagging about the smell, but it doesn't bother me too much. It's very herbal smelling. Don't get it anywhere near your eyes... even the vapors can burn them!
Bottom line This stuff is wonderful! I love it. I used BP and it worked somewhat, but not as quickly as TTO! Also, I can put as much on without worrying about if my skin is going to get burned. If I have a REALLY troubled spot, I take a tiny bit of tissue and drop tea tree oil on it, then place it on the spot. My skin can handle the concentration, some people's may not. FABULOUS STUFF!!!!!!
